Hellbound With You (WN)

Abi and Kelly spent the entire morning rehearsing with the children. Once noon break came, they let the children rest and get some food in them, while the two of them and a few staff from the orphanage helped them with the stage decorations. 

Abi and Kelly had not had any time for a casual chat that day, so Abi forgot to mention to Kelly that the four guys, living at Alex ’s mansion at the moment, were all coming to watch the play so the girl was clueless about it. 

”Your family is here, Abi! ” Kelly exclaimed when she spotted the three of the four kindest people she had ever known, make their way down to take their seats. Abi ’s family held a very special place in Kelly ’s heart and she actually couldn ’t act like the bitchy rich kid that she was in their presence. It was not because she was hiding her real face from them, it was just that they were just really nice people that she just subconsciously refrained herself from cursing and being bitchy when she was with them, as a sign of respect. It was not an exaggeration but whenever she was with them, Kelly somehow wanted to be nice too, even for just a while, like how a good kid would behave when they went brought along to go to church. 

Abi ’s family were that type of people who would actually stop or divert the traffic to let a mother duck and its ducklings cross the road, and Abi was like that too. Kelly could not believe it when she saw Abi do exactly just that for the first time, when they had just started to become friends. 

But Kelly really liked this family even though it was super awkward for her when she first slept over in their house. Their house was peaceful, free from all the dramas that every family in this world was probably going through. They had this quiet and super loving family that Kelly never knew still existed in this world. Sometimes, she would feel a little jealous but that feeling was a fleeting one. It would always be replaced with gratitude that at least her friend had such an awesome family and that she could be a part of it.

”Hello Uncle, Grandma, Grandpa! ” Kelly called out with her loud sweet voice and waved her hands at them as she and Abi approached them. 

”Oh, hello, Kelly, dear. It ’s been a while. ” Abi ’s dear old grandma embraced her before she too embraced her grandchild, Abi.

”How ’s everything? Do you guys need any help? ” Abi ’s grandad chimed in.

”No, no… we ’re almost done, gramps. You three should just go to your seats and relax. ” Abi grinned at them as she led them toward the front seats.
